Crackdown on illegal taxi drivers in Hull Sunday, 11 July 2010 11:41 UK A crackdown on illegal taxi drivers by Hull City Council has led to a number of prosecutions and cautions. Action has been taken against 10 taxi and private hire drivers for offences such as working without a licence and carrying passengers who had not booked. The council said sentences ranged from formal warnings and cautions, to prosecutions with fines and costs of as much as £960. Councillor Elaine Garland said illegal drivers would continue to face action. She said: "The vast majority of taxi operators in the city work legally and provide a valuable service. "However, we will not tolerate the actions of a few drivers who are prepared to put their own financial gain above the safety of their passengers, and who effectively steal work from other drivers."
